Dear Ian. Re: “creative contract”, I’ve been there, done it, didn’t end well thetvcontroller.blogspot.com…
Ian Katz launches commissioners' "creative contract" broadcastnow.co.uk/channel-4…
TheTVController retweeted
I am disgusted to hear that the @achrisevans show is offering historians neither a fee nor travel reimbursement to appear on the programme for 3½ hours during the Royal Wedding. While it pays Evans £2.5 million p.a., it is repugnant that the BBC expects experts to work for free.
Interesting isn’t it how so many of these former commissioning types come properly unstuck out in the dog eat dog world of indieland #kleiny broadcastnow.co.uk/indies/ba…
Make no mistake, Horan is one of the good guys. But it’s amazing how in this game commissioning editors can ride on the coattails of shows that for whatever reason just happen to work, often without much interference from the channel.
Yes mate. Great point. No one ever thought of that before you. #edtvfest nitter.gq/edinburghtvfest/status…

Great to see @markchapman enthused by Charlotte's session. I know she doesn't like football, but still pretend to be interested #edtvfest

This is exactly what being on a pointless panel at #Edtvfest at 1pm on a Thursday afternoon when no one important has arrived feels like.
Something itchy I wrote about @EdinburghTVFest. 10 fucking years ago #EdTVFest thetvcontroller.blogspot.in/…
